At first sight this seems to try to emulate the "soft opt in" under
2002/58/EC. But it actually goes far further than that because it implies
that ANY giving of email address implies that UCE becomes CE.
I think your government has it wrong ;) This is a "close, but no cigar"
moment!

Subject: [data-protection] Prior Consent from Data Subject Before Sending
Electronic Direct Marketing eg Email
A legal notice has been issued here in Malta related to the current Data
Protection Act 2001 - it states that if an organisation would like to send
direct marketing via email for example, it must first seek the consent of
the person. However, there are conditions set that if the organisation would
have acquired the email address during the normal course of business/opening
a relationship with the organistion eg opening of a bank account/filling in
the relative forms - in other words, the customer would have provided the
email address, then the organisation need not obtain prior consent as it
would have been implied by the customer upon signing of the opening of
account form. Of course the form should contain the relative DP notice etc.
My question is - is the UK DP Act have a similar condition.

Subject: [data-protection] data protection disclosure request
Colleagues,
Does anyone have experience of disclosure of university records to a former
student on a professional qualification programme (eg social work, nursing,
medicine, professions allied to health), where that student's training had
been terminated under a procedure to determine suitability/fitness to
practise: in particular, experience of disclosure of information from third
parties, information relating to the decision-making under the termination
procedure, and information that could place others at risk from the student?
Thoughts and suggestions welcome.
Regards
David
